Isaiah 57:19

I create the fruit of the lips Better, creating fruit of the lips, continuing Isaiah 57:18. "Fruit of the lips" means praise and thanksgiving, as Hosea 14:2 (R.V. marg.); Hebrews 13:15. Jehovah will create this, cause it to spring forth spontaneously, from those who experience His lovingkindness.

Peace, peace &c. Peace, peace to the far off and to the near! an exclamation, like Isaiah 57:21. The contrast of the "far off" and the "near" is probably that between the Jews still in exile, and those who have returned and are "near" to Jerusalem (cf. ch. Isaiah 56:8).
